I've been using a pair of NOS Sylvania 6SN7s I prefer them to Shuguang although no flies on the Schuguang.
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I just placed an order for a pair of these for my Aric Audio Motherlode II. I’ve been chatting with a fellow that runs the E 6sn7 in his Don Sachs pre. He loves them, He says they make his NOS tubes sound thin and lifeless.
It will be a couple weeks until I receive them,and I was curious if anyone out in Agon land has tried these,and what are your impressions?
Thanks in advance,
Ray

There are so many variants of Sylvania 6SN7. Can you be more specific? Scroll down to see Sylvania's production through the years. And there are subgroups within these tube types. I use an assortment of Sylvania in my system.

I've been buying from Brent for years, and yes, he does make great recommendations. I've used every type of Sylvania 6SN7 except the metal base. Currently, I have WWII VT-231's and 6SN7GT 3-holes in my amp. The VT-231 is milspec and presents a transparent wide, 3D soundstage. These tubes have become very expensive. The GT is more dynamic with smooth extended highs and a deep low-end. All Sylvanias present a sense of realism. I'd like to buy more VT-231's (they're so quiet and clear) but I'm waiting for the Linlai's to arrive. |
